Literary Societies

The Literary Societies are an important factor in college
life whether considered from the literary, parliamentary or
social point of view. Lenox has two flourishing societies, the
Athenian and Clayonian. They have their own halls which
are tastily decorated and nicely furnished, including pianos.
They hold an annual inter-society debate for the Faculty De-
bating Cup, which is held by the successful society for one
year, when it is again contested for. The society securing it
three times will hold it as a permanent trophy. A cast of
President Lincoln will hereafter be awarded on the same con-
ditions as the cup to the society whose orator wins in the an-
nual oratorical contest held by the societies.

V. W. C. A. Cabinet.

A high standard of religious life has characterized the history of this institution. The first college Y. M. C. A.
in Iowa, was organized in Lenox and the second college Y. W. C. A. in the United States, so far as we have ever been
able to learn, was organized by our young women.

The institution is not sectarian in any sense, but it is thoroughly Christian and constantly holds up the highest ideals
of moral and religious life.

The N ew Agricultural
Department

This department will be opened Sept. 7, 1 909,
headed by Prof. C. N. Evans. Mr. Evans was raised
on a farm, was graduated from an agricultural col-
lege and after teaching in the agricultural department
of the Texas State University has spent the past year
taking graduate work for the master’s degree at Ames.
He is thoroughly trained in both the practical and sci-
entific work of agriculture.

Thirty acres of land have been secured and the
department will be conducted on a thoroughly prac-
tical as well as scientific basis. A short course in
Domestic Art and Science will be given during the
year.

The accompanying cuts are loaned by the courtesy
of Ames, whose hearty support and generous assist-
ance we are receiving.

For information, address President E. E. Reed.
